Seeds

Seeds represent possibility. Potential growth.

And with proper storage, seeds can last many years. That sense of possibility can be carefully wrapped up and kept in safety.

To plant, however — to seek germination — risks death as much as it promises new life.

So we have a choice: protect the seeds, or grow them... risking failure.

Unlike seeds, our hopes, dreams, ambitions, and inspirations cannot be kept indefinitely at minus 18°C.

If we don’t act on them, they’ll slowly, quietly expire. They’re not safe on the shelf. If we believe in them — if we truly believe in them — we must take the risk. We have to try. To plant. To grow. Yes, to risk failure... but also to risk success beyond what we can imagine.
